In the moment of their greeting – v2

Their actions, without words
joy within each heart
affirming the divine
God’s plan unfolding
the presence of the Christ-child
in Mary’s womb, growing,
John overjoyed, overcome
leaping within her, his mother
in the moment of their greeting
God’s promise complete
the one who would herald
and the One who was to come
